Ingredients:- ¼ cup raw turbinado sugar- ¾ tsp. cornstarch- 2-13.5 oz. cans full-fat coconut milk- 1 Tbs. vanilla extract- 4 Tbs. tapioca flour (or starch; it’s the same thing)For chocolate whipped cream:2 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa powderFor chocolate mousse:1-1 ½ cups vegan chocolate chips (depending on how you want it)Preparation:* Chill the coconut milk overnight. Put it in the coldest part of the fridge and don’t move it around. The coconut milk will solidify overnight. The next day, take it out of the fridge and don’t shake the can or turn it upside down. The liquid goes to the bottom of the can and we need to get rid of it. With the pointy part of a bottle opener, puncture the bottom of the cans (without turning it upside down) and let the liquid pour out. When it finishes draining, open the tops of the cans and you should see solid coconut cream. Using a spatula, transfer the coconut cream into a chilled metal bowl;* Make your own vegan confectioner’s sugar. In a spice grinder, grind the raw sugar and the cornstarch until it is a fine powder. You should have about 1/3 cup confectioner’s sugar now. Set it aside;- Beat the coconut cream with a hand mixer, going from low to high speed, until it becomes thick and fluffy. - Add the vanilla and beat to mix it in;- Add the confectioner’s sugar and beat that in. Use a spatula to scrape any sugar that clings to the sides of the bowl into the cream; - Beat in the tapioca flour, one Tbs. at a time, until you have your desired consistency. Again, scrape any flour on the sides of the bowl into the cream. Chill for an hour or two before serving;- If you want chocolate whipped cream, add in the unsweetened cocoa powder and beat the whipped cream until it is well incorporated.Chill for an hour or two before serving. You can make other flavored whipped creams by adding in different ingredients!- To make the chocolate mousse, simply melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler (a metal pot or bowl sitting atop a pot of water over medium heat). Stir the chips until they are just melted and silky. Let the melted chocolate cool a bit and then add it to the whipped cream. Fold it in gently so the whipped cream stays light. Spoon the mixture into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least an hour or until it sets up. Top with whipped cream, chocolate chips or your other favorite toppings. Enjoy!
